Access to Nutrition Assistance
The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP – formerly food stamps) provides eligible households with monthly benefits they can use to purchase nutritious food. By helping families fight food insecurity and meet one of their fundamental needs, they can focus on overcoming barriers to self-sufficiency. Paz de Cristo can provide access to a computer and the internet to apply. Call 480-464-2370 x 2150 for more information or to make an appointment.
